Proposition I.
The Irruption occurred 104 winters past.No man alive recalls it. This is not remarkable.
Proposition II.
Records of that Irruption number only 27 across 9 city-archives.
Of these, 11 agree on the date, 16 disagree, and none provide duration.
Proposition III.
By ratios of decay, 100 winters should leave no more than 40% loss of paper records.
Instead, we see 90% loss. This is not explained by Tagmaton activity, for they consumed flesh, not parchment.
Proposition IV.
The Conflux is proposed to have been 4 centuries past.
Across all known ledgers, only 2 agree on century, none on year, and 14 conflict beyond reconciliation.
Proposition V.
If mere chance decay explains all, then the variance of accounts should obey the law of error.
Instead, variance exceeds projection by a factor of 7.
Proposition VI.
Therefore, either:
- Our forebears were incompetent in accountancy (disproved by other ledgers of tax, grain, and star-reckoning, which remain precise), or
- Some agency has struck out the days themselves.
Proposition VII.
The Sundering, oldest of all, is not measured at all, only mythologized.
If myth alone explained loss, then why do the intervals between disasters resist measurement as well?
Corollary.
The law of time is interfered with. Memory is not merely lost — it has been removed.
